Less than 48 hours ago the thread Skill Level cap is simply too low was created. We now have a thread that discusses choice permeance with a focus on skills, rather than discussing, among other things, respeccing skills being “a pain in the butt”. The two threads manifestly discuss the same topics, and thus one is superfluous. They were also created by the same person.
Upon reading this thread, it is immediately clear that it is the less polite of the two, with unhelpful posts such as assertions that another’s perspective is “bullsh*t” and namecalling such as calling others “sheep”. I need to be clear that the forum’s Code of Conduct is not a list of suggestions; those who insist on breaking the rules will find their posting privileges revoked.
Nobody has received a temporary or permanent forum suspension due to their posts in this thread, however this post should be considered a reminder to follow the rules linked to above - particularly for those whose behaviour I have specifically alluded to.
As this thread is being locked and the original is not - and as they are ultimately two parts of the same whole - I will be moving posts there to salvage constructive points that merit remaining part of the discussion. I would appreciate the hostility that has arisen in this thread being left behind - otherwise, I will be forced to begin handing out suspensions.
I would like to note that we do welcome meta threads such as criticizing forum moderation or offering commentaries on trends in feedback (and responses to feedback) on the condition that they do not refer to individual incidents or people. Had this thread been less hostile, and had it left the previous subjects such as skill respecs behind, it would likely have remained open.
